The Los Angeles Angels’ Patrick Sandoval gave up one run, and Shohei Ohtani homered in the first inning to propel the Angels to a 4–1 win on Sunday and a 3–1 series victory over the home team Oakland Athletics (15–22). It was the first series win for the Angels in Oakland since May 2019.
The win keeps the Angels, 24–13, a close second in the American League West behind a red hot Houston Astros team, 23–12, who have won 12 of their last 13 games.
After a double-header that was split by the two teams on Saturday, Sandoval fought to contain the A’s offense through six and one-third innings.
